Subject: Note removal of 9.5.5 in Ch 1
As promised at 153, this paper adds a note to Chapter One to mark the
passing of printing (a/k/a "carriage control").

3:19+ Add paragraph:
Earlier Fortran standards had the concept of printing, meaning that column
one of formatted output had special meaning for a processor dependent
(possibly empty) set of logical units. This property appears to violate 1.4
(3) above, and could be neither detected nor specified by a
standard-specified means. Printing has been deleted from this standard.
